If your list had been titled "Top 10 Amusing Depictions of Technology in the Movies" then I'd applaud your commentary, but since you've taken a pessimistic view I have to strongly disagree.
It seems your complaints fall into two categories:
1. Movies portray IT guys as brilliant.
2. Movies visualize ones and zeros.
1. We've seen plenty of depictions of techies as socially inept nerds who can't get a date, so why in the world would you complain about movies that portray techies as geniuses able to accomplish amazing feats? In Firewall, Harrison Ford's character finds a way to capture thousands of customer account numbers with a contraption devised from a fax machine and an iPod. It's believable. Sure, in reality it would probably take someone 6 months to produce such a device, but in the movies time is compressed so Harrison Ford's character whips this contraption together in mere minutes. Inspiring!
I always get a chuckle when in the movies, information in any database in the world can be obtained with just two keystrokes and a mouse click. Not realistic I know, but it would slow the momentum down in a movie if the hacker spent hours/days at it. To keep the story moving forward and prevent it from getting boring, it is essential to just bring up on the computer monitor whatever information the characters need in two seconds flat. This is the same reason that in the movies characters driving in a crowded city always find a parking spot right in front of the place where they are going. The screenwriter does not want to slow down the pace of the film by showing the reality of the characters driving around for 45 minutes hunting for a spot (unless of course it is a comedy and there's not much else going on in the plot).
2. A computer virus is depicted as a 3-D shape in "Swordfish". Data moving around in a computer is shown residing in "buildings" on the circuit board in "Hackers". Hey, duh, this is a movie, right? Movies are a visual medium. This is not a story told over the radio or something you are reading in a book. We're watching it on a screen. It is okay if Hollywood wants to visualize what is going on because the reality that we can't see electrons moving around is pretty boring for an audience. For years, Hollywood showed data centers with spinning tape drives decades after the technology had been replaced with tape cartridges that don't move. Hollywood will add lots of colored, lit up light displays to computers just to symbolize what a lot of computing power "looks like". This is okay.
What I love most about technology in films is that everything is so user-friendly. Computers provide meaningful status messages and never crash. Hardware is so simple to connect and use. The technology industry could learn a few things.
So quit complaining and embrace how great the film industry makes technology and us techies look!
